I absolutely loooove a good cheeseburger. This time I tried to mix it up a little bit by using a mix of spicy italian sausage and ground beef to form the patties. Cook to your desired doneness by whatever method you choose (although I would err on the side of caution and well done due to the pork in the patty) and top with a slice of pepper-jack cheese. A good tip for melting the cheese is to cover the burger with a lid along with a little water to create some steam. Top it with whatever condiments you so desire, grab a beer (or other beverage) and then it’s time to go to town.
Spicy Italian Burger

OMG. That looks sooooo good. Can you please come back to St. Louis and cook for me?
PS – I saw someone modern dancing in Forest Park the other day and thought of you and our awesome dance class. Hope all is well!
